a new car or refund. according to california law, a lemon is any vehicle still under warranty that can't be fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts. but to get relief, car owners have to make a case that their car qualifies and that's not always easy. while some turn to lemon lawyers, others turn to the bbb. >> we try to settle the complaints working with the company and the customer. >> reporter: rob davis helps run auto line a free dispute resolution program run by the bbb. car owners submit the complaint and auto line contacts the carmaker and tries to work out a settlement. if that doesn't work cases can go to arbitration where both sides meet in a local bbb office. >> our goal is to make sure that the process is there every time you come in the door. >> reporter: they aim to settle cases in 40 days start to finish and boast excellent customer satisfaction. but public data shows car owners are denied more than 60% of the time. so his odds aren't great, but

auto line is the road haskins is taking in hopes it will lead him back to the driver's seat of another vehicle. now, you can take your case directly to a lemon lawyer instead of charging you most recover costs from the carmaker themselves and lemon lawyers caution against programs like auto line because if you lose an arbitration, it could be used against you in court. remember, if you have and consumer problem, give us a call 1-888-5-helps-u. let's take another look at the breaking news out of downtown kansas city, missouri. a massive fire has been burning at a very popular shopping and entertainment area. they call it the country club plaza. this started a little more than an hour ago. apparently a car hit a gas main outside a restaurant. that started this whole thing. people did report hearing an explosion. they could hear that blocks away. we are told there are reports of people who are hurt, but at this point we don't know how

many nor how badly they are hurt. an initial call for three ambulances has gone up to 10 ambulances now. we'll bring you more information as we get it. a cold rainy day today. streets were wet in oakland this morning. and this was the scene in many parts of the bay area. but paul, i can't stop looking at our local mountains with all that gorgeous snow. it's stunning. >> we didn't have winter for about five or six weeks. mother nature trying to squeeze it all in. hello! exhibit a. i actually have exhibits a, b and c how winter is back. starting with snowfall if you were driving in the south bay or east bay you may have seen this. that's the top of mount diablo. that's not just a dusting. we're talking an inch or two of snowfall above 2500 feet and the winter weather advisory just expired. beautiful pictures there. higher elevations getting snowfall. now let's turn to the stuff that is not as fun. hail reported in the south bay. yeah. kind of looks like snow at first glance. but it will eventually melt. temperatures only in the low 40s today for much of the day in the south bay. so we had hail in san jose, we had snow in mount diablo and

let's go a little farther to the north about 3 or 4 hours to the north. north of red bluff, that's a funnel cloud that eventually did touch down and the national weather service confirms that was a tornado in northern california earlier today. so yes, mother nature throwing us a lot of punches in different varieties today. snow, hail, tornado and, of course, the rainfall. now we look at the radar and we'll zoom down to the south bay because everybody else is clearing out but just south of san jose between there and morgan hill, we are still seeing some mountain snowfall. and see that lightning bolt just west of the highway 101 icon that is a thunderstorm that is blossomed just to the south of san jose east of los gatos. moving toward morgan hill where it will be raining rather steadily over the next let's say 15 or 20 minutes. this kind of tells the story, san jose clearing out but lots of drips on the camera there but toward dab dan where that snow is still there on the top of the mountain, we are now seeing clearing skies, as well. concord at 46, livermore 45. san francisco 47, 43 san jose. today tied for the coldest day

of the winter, only 49 degrees in downtown san francisco today. tonight when we clear out, it's going to get chilly. concord 34, fremont 34, san jose 35. san rafael 36. and santa rosa 32. so a rapid return to winter most of the moisture now pushed down to our south and east a couple more showers possible this evening but the bulk of the activity is now moving out. so you may be wondering what's next? front's gone no rainfall tomorrow but the chill is going to stay because our source of air is still coming down from the north and it's going to stay that way through saturday. it will be chilly at night, brisk in the afternoon with a little bit of a breeze and temperatures will be below normal for the next four or five days. so showers done, we'll have cool mornings, the afternoons chilly and breezy through the weekend. how about it mid-february. concord 57. santa clara 56. san mateo tomorrow only 55. even with some sunshine, looking at 57 for san ramon richard 58 and the upper 50s

for mill valley, daly city, south san francisco and in downtown. a couple of degrees milder and less wind on thursday and friday. here comes another front much weaker showers on saturday and next week we'll be back to the low to mid-60s. so this is a chilly pattern that will be with us for a while. most of the activity though all hail, tornadoes and all that good stuff is done. >> thank you. just cold we'll be right back.

and they can tend to those babies much faster and more quicker. that's when the comfort level comes in. >> reporter: now, in the study, parents had the easiest time recognizing when their baby was crying in pain. that makes sense in terms of evolution. crying in this case is a warning sign of a potentially serious threat to health or survival. >> figure it out. the sooner the better. we'll be right back.
